Please do a comparison video of grass seed products! I noticed you don't have any videos on that and it would be incredibly interesting to see which brands perform the best!
you could do lawn mower blade brands to see which one last the longest and can withstand rocks, sticks, etc.and also see if a mulching blade is weaker than a non-mulching blade
@@ProjectFarm thanks for the video, you should test two stroke weed eater oil to see which one is the best. Like stihl oil and other brands like offbrands and stuff.

I'm a groundskeeper, and I'm glad to see a non-sponsored reason for me to switch from Stihl to Husqvarna blades. Helped me over the years, thanks Project Farm!
I tend to prefer Stihl, but a win is a win. I have both. New and old. The cheap Stihl is still good, cheap Husqvarna tends to be cheap. The highs of both really are high and. Just today, used a 20 year old Stihl 029 Super to cut a bunch of wood, and an old Husqvarna 42 with a bow blade to finish. Currently, Stihl is owned by Stihl and Husqvarna is owned by AYP (American Yard Products). I would buy both.
I run a Husqvarna Scarlett Blade on a S270 Shindiawa, 1in (25MM) Arbor 22 Tooth. It's purpose is for Woody heavy stuff, it's not like the Husqvarna you see here it's made similar to the Oregon Blade here... It's a cutting son of a gun.
@@Technohonk Husqvarna (mowers and saws) are AYP. Or.... More appropriately AYP is Husqvarna. They are in a sense their own brand, but it is a massive confusing cluster of Roper, Electrolux, Sears and Roebuck, and a few others. Husqvarna is not junk from what I've worked on, but it also competes in the mid range consumer market meaning it can be cheap. They also compete in the commercial stuff.... very good stuff, not junk at all. No body does cheap like MTD though. The motorcycle part is owned by KTM currently (I think). Per my earlier comment, it's actually a 50ish year old Husqvarna L65, not a 42. I like the 455 rancher as well.

Wow, excellent video, one of the best I have seen on RUclips. He is direct and to the point, he doesn't like to waste time talking about his long lost aunt and how it worked for her. He went through 5 different blades and compared them from least to favorite in less than 15 minutes. He went over all of the best highlights on each one of the blades, comparing them for grass and little trees from 1 inch to 3 inches. I am a senior female widow and hate going to the store because I don't have the experience using any of these tools and I want to buy it for my son to do the job. Listening to his video gave me a great options to choose from. I was trying to find one that does both grass and 2 inch trees. But they don't make a good combination blade; so I decided on buy one best for grass, and the best for little trees. For grass, I am going to buy the Husqvara and for little trees I decided on the Forester which was the fastest and the strongest. /thank you so much for taking the time to make these videos for all of us who can't afford to hire out people to do the job.

Forester package: this blade is for grass, dont use on anything hard Forester itself: sucks at cutting grass, chops through trees almost instantly Me at 3am: *_confused screaming_*
Me too! No trees yet called the Forrester. So why wasnt it called the Prairier or Pasturer or Savanna-er? Oh yeah, Forrester is more accurate and cooler.
I just want to thank you for your time spent on this channel. I just spent 4 days binge watching Project Farm with my son. Great quality time spent together and we had some awesome conversations while watching. Unlike other channels that feel the need to cuss every other word, I can watch with my future little engineer / mechanic with no fear. He loves the testing methods, the tools, the products tested, the thought involved and the anticipation but sometimes unexpected result. Then we can run to the store to purchase a product with confidence or maybe even run a few experiments of our own. I think you have definitely made a positive impact on a young mans future. Thank you Sir, thank you.
@ some Red Wing boots are better than others are. Their loggers are awesome. But I've had other types of boots from Red Wing I was less impressed with.
So nice to get a video that gets right to the point, and doesn't try to pad out the minutes with useless comments. Really clear and informative presentation.
I bought the Renegade Blade you tested before and still use it for saplings. I just about spit my coffee out when the new Renegade chopped your fencepost down.
@@ProjectFarm I have the Husqvarna blade permanently attached to my brush whacker and have done for years. Same blade too, still works like a charm 8 years later. For bigger stuff it can't handle, it's generally big enough to warrant a chainsaw anyway. Might get one of those Forrester blades for when I can't be bothered to get the chainsaw out.
Any carbide bit style blade will perform similarly. Most of these blades are shaped wildly differently for a reason, they are meant for different uses. However the carbide bit style is by far the most versatile, it will cut pretty much anything well. It loses in some applications like clearing vines, ivy and kudzu.
Product test request for you, I would like to see how different string (bailing string, hemp string, cotton clothesline, spectra, and paracord) compare to eachother. I am thinking at least a couple questions to answer; How much weight before it snaps? How easily does it burn? Does a square knot pull apart? Does it get damaged easily? A couple tests there should be easy but the damage one has me thinking. Maybe drive over the string a few times in a truck and compare the before and after weights? Maybe run one over the edge of some steel or a rock to see how quickly they fray though?
For testing string, I think you'd definitely want to test how well they do with shock loading too. After the test for how much weight each (with the strings being equal thickness for a fair comparison of course) can hold without snapping, use a weight that is comfortably below the one that the weakest string could hold statically, and drop it, attached to the string, from increasing heights until it snaps. Also, measuring how much they stretch before breaking in the static load test would be useful too.
Awesome idea. While your on the tie down theme, add to the list ropes, zip ties, ratchet tie down straps, bungee cords and of course the strings. I’m sure almost everyone will use or has used one of those items around the shop... or farm.
I took your advice and bought the Renegade brush clearing saw, you were right on the money. I put this on a 460 Stihl clearing saw and that is one mean machine. I bought the Stihl harness that goes with it, and there's almost no possibility of getting caught up in it. Thank you for all your great reviews!!
The renegade lost a lot of speed on the three and half inch brush... BRUSH ! Nah man, Thats called a tree. Lol Im just kiddin around. Love you videos man. One of the only RUclips channels I consider a valid source for product reviews. Your awesome man I love and respect what you do. Keep it up. We viewers appreciate it a lot.
This is precisely why I bought the Husqvarna 535LK pro combi! Not only does it have a shed loads of power but being a combi I can switch out heads for different jobs in seconds! I currently have a strimmer head, brushcutter, mulching blade and a clearing saw, so I can pretty much deal with anything!
I never would have thought that my weed eater could cut through a 3” tree with just swapping to a brush blade. This just saved me so much time over using a chainsaw.
ACKSHWEEEEE I came millimeters from cutting my thigh open with a chainsaw, duck walking around brush to get at it from ground level. IT IS A TERRIBLE IDEA! I got a bike handle trimmer, and the Stihl chisel tooth blade and limit stop. It lets me down brush FAR faster than I can dispose of it. Downside; you absolutely must sharpen each chisel tooth every time you go through a tank or two of gas. Mitigation of downside; a round file and guide makes that like a 10 minute job.
@@TugIronChief But you have to bend over or get on your knees to get a cut close to the ground. With a trimmer brush cutter blade, you can stand upright. That makes it a win for me.
I bought the Forester brushcutter blade about 3 years ago as a 2-pack. I have yet to wear out the first one. I'm glad I didn't read the directions! I use string heads for grass, like most people.
Always top notch info from Project Farm! You always add valuable details that the average guy just isn't going to have the ability, skill, or equipment to gain the critical info learned from your comparisons. I appreciate the heck out of having this priceless resource to refer to when adding new gear to my inventory! Just and idea for a new video would be to do like a greatest hits series where you give your top recommendations from your comparison videos. You could have like 10 reccos a video with similar topics grouped in alphabetical order. The ultimate PROJECT FARM VIDEO ENCYCLOPEDIA! Your already RUclips royalty you just as well bump up to mythological superpower. Heck go ahead and run for president, I'll vote for ya!
great video i will say i have learned over the years owning a landscaping business that different style blades work better in different types of brush as you showed here I have never really found a one blade suits all in this type of work we have 3 different types blades depending on what we will be clearing. Todd thanks so much for your dedication and hard work on these videos every week. You are awesome. Stay Safe Stay Healthy!
I agree with this comment. My trimmer came with a 3-tooth blade so I use that for brush, a small string for grass (because smaller string cuts better), and fat string for around fences, walls, anything that might damage the string. Different jobs do better with different tools.
Not a professional but I've done quite a lot of brush cutting. I ususally have one whacker set up with string for grass, and one with the Husqvarna blade. That blade has lasted for years and still works great! Most anything the Husqvarna blade can't cut is usually big enough to warrant pulling out a chainsaw anyway. I might get one of those Forrester blades for when I don't want to get out a chainsaw or need to cut something very close to the ground. But generally I think string and the Husqvarna blade are the way to go.
After years of using a string trimmer, I've came to the conclusion that there simply isn't no one attachment that will be good at everything. Thats why my string trimmers have detachable shafts, it only takes a few seconds to remove one and pop in another. One has line for grass and small weeds only, the second weeds to small brush, and the third of course for the bigger stuff. I also have a cultivator for weeding the garden but that is another story. Enjoyed your video.
@@danlorett2184 exactly. String for trimming with minimal damage, 3 point for clearing lots of grass and light brush, and the saw blade type for cutting anything that's too small to start the chainsaw for.
All these blades minus the echo were genuinely bery impressive. They all cut and or held up way better than i expected. I currently have a stihl the same as the Husqvarna one and it almost seems to be supplied from the same manufacturer as they look identical, though i havent measured the thickness from new, works great in thick grass and can get small bush branches as well, works perfect for what i needed it for as i wont be cutting branches any bigger than 1 inch, thats what my chainsaw or pruning saw is for
Great test idea. Any suggestions on brands or other specifics related to testing them? Thanks again

i find the Turbo nozzels to be the most effective but they can blast the paint off your car if its chipped anywhere. also the size of the pump makes a big difference. ive got a 13hp 3600psi 4gpm and a 5hp 3000psi 2gpm washer and the 13hp is by far more powerful. that one might strip the pain off a car even if it isnt chipped.
@ That's exactly why don't get gas powered ones anymore I only use electric to prevent further damage Plus I make less of a mess by using less water Anything that doesn't come off with 1600 PSI of electric pressure washer I probly don't want to come off

@@bcoit55 i de-grease my cars with them so im all for the extra power lol. often times i just use a garden hose and scrub brush to wash the paint.
I had an idea recently while visiting my local “home improvement” store. Any chance you would be willing to do a comparison of “expanding foam” products? This would include the one time use cans and the home dyi kits for multi use spray guns. Thanks
@theykilledthegiggler Try the DapTex stuff in the blue can. It's expensive and takes a long time to fully cure, but it can be cleaned up with soap and water and I've had no problems using a can 2 months after I started using it. The fancy smart straw great stuff also restarts, but you might have to cut off the end of the smart straw.
@theykilledthegiggler You can use Great Stuff as many times as you want. After each use, or before, you can unscrew the nozzle and dip it into gasoline and clear it right up allowing you to use it as often as you'd like till it is empty.
For blackberries I've found that the blade with wings (looks like a blender blade) works best as it chops as you drop it onto/into the brambles. Blends them up nicely.
Your have saved me a lot of time and money. I’ve also recommended you to many of my family and friends when I didn’t have a valid answer to their questions. Thanks a lot for all of the useful reviews and information you have shared.
Must say that this has been a very comprehensive video on the blades and their performance. Have been thinking for while which blade would be best to own. I had already purchased the forester chainsaw blade and now I'm glad I did. Also I'm very happy that I didn't purchase any other blades as this demonstration showed me that I need not purchase any other blade for my needs. Thank you Project Farm for your dedication and your level of attention paid to all of your tests. Exceptionally wonderful video. Great info.
This validates my good experience with a Forester branded blade. I have the 7" model and it works very well. Looks like I'll be sticking with them in the future if I ever have to replace it. Thanks for the great, no bs, informative videos!

First off i love this channel even if i have no use for 50% of the products you test i still watch anyway. I would love to see a video of you testing wire wheels for an angle grinder, i imagine you could run the tests very similar to the grinding wheel tests Tests could include, how quickly it cleans mill scale, longevity with 1 constant pressure,wire retention, and im sure you or some other views will have more ideas as well
Love all the videos of course ! This one was awesome to watch also! I've always just used metal wire ,zip ties or the mini blades they make for cordless circular saws. I will agree with the comment the guy left about how you save all of us time and money with your test! Keep up all the amazing and hard work you do! Thank you!
In my late teens, many decades ago, for a couple of summers I worked for a county gardening department and it often involved using a proper gasoline-powered "brush cutter" (with a vest that it was hung from to remove hand strain). We learned then that if we had to deal with a mixed field having both woody brushes and grass, it was way better to use a proper wood-cutter-type blade to get the thick brushes and small trees out, and then use a line trimmer attachment to cut the grass, than to use any mixed type blade! We tried one or two of the mixed (advertised) blades but they were so bad in one plant type or the other that they were left on the shelf in favor of dedicated blades/line cutters. And hey, it seems the situation has not much changed :)
I'd like to see a comparison of electric chipper/mulchers, it would be nice to see something for the small backyard gardener that would not use a proper gas wood chipper. Thanks for the great content.
Hey Todd. I've been getting a boat load of ads for different solar cell chargers, is that something you think might be worth testing? I'm sure you could make it pretty interesting.

Told my grandpa about you lol. You've saved him a lot. Hes working on a classic 1962 oldsmobile Startfire and we are so grateful that you are here to save us money! Love from Florida!
Awesome! Thank you very much! Please say "hello" to your grandpa for me!
@@ProjectFarm will do thanks for the reply 😁
NW Indiana Sirens, does your grandpas car have the aluminum V-8 in it?
@@bartman59laj55 actually yes we just got redone about a year ago the. We repainted the block red and it now has chrome accents. The body still needs a lot if work!
Seems like everywhere I look I see these 215 V8 engines. My dad (RIP) had dreams of putting one in his MGB. I now have his unfinished motor at my house, trying to figure what to do with it. I’m sure I will figure something out.
Forester package: this blade is for grass, dont use on anything hard
Forester itself: sucks at cutting grass, chops through trees almost instantly
Me at 3am: *_confused screaming_*
Lawyers...
That's just to cover their ass in case somebody cuts their leg off
Me too! No trees yet called the Forrester. So why wasnt it called the Prairier or Pasturer or Savanna-er? Oh yeah, Forrester is more accurate and cooler.
Although to be fair isn't that a risk with all of these blades?
The chainsaw cutters are a genius idea though, because a lot of people already have a chainsaw and equipment to sharpen the cutters.
I just want to thank you for your time spent on this channel. I just spent 4 days binge watching Project Farm with my son. Great quality time spent together and we had some awesome conversations while watching. Unlike other channels that feel the need to cuss every other word, I can watch with my future little engineer / mechanic with no fear. He loves the testing methods, the tools, the products tested, the thought involved and the anticipation but sometimes unexpected result. Then we can run to the store to purchase a product with confidence or maybe even run a few experiments of our own. I think you have definitely made a positive impact on a young mans future. Thank you Sir, thank you.
Proud of you for taking your son on this journey with you!
I'm tired of getting expensive boots that can't last as long as my Meijer pair.
We need a PF popular boot brand comparison!!
Would like to see HAIX boots in a test
@ some Red Wing boots are better than others are. Their loggers are awesome. But I've had other types of boots from Red Wing I was less impressed with.
Great video idea! Thank you
My favorite work boots are standard us army jungle boots. Why? Because I can't feel my feet anymore after using them, so any discomfort is negligible!
@ Danner fan too. Tried liking Red Wing for years. Just don't fit my feet well.
Do I need a brush blade? Nope
Am I going to watch this anyway? Absolutely
Thank you very much!
Me same.
So nice to get a video that gets right to the point, and doesn't try to pad out the minutes with useless comments. Really clear and informative presentation.
Oh man, every time I open RUclips and there’s a new project farm video, it’s like Christmas. Thanks for doing these.
Glad you like them!
I bought the Renegade Blade you tested before and still use it for saplings. I just about spit my coffee out when the new Renegade chopped your fencepost down.
Renegade continues to amaze me. I've cleared thousands of saplings with the blade.
@@ProjectFarm I have the Husqvarna blade permanently attached to my brush whacker and have done for years. Same blade too, still works like a charm 8 years later. For bigger stuff it can't handle, it's generally big enough to warrant a chainsaw anyway. Might get one of those Forrester blades for when I can't be bothered to get the chainsaw out.
Any carbide bit style blade will perform similarly. Most of these blades are shaped wildly differently for a reason, they are meant for different uses. However the carbide bit style is by far the most versatile, it will cut pretty much anything well. It loses in some applications like clearing vines, ivy and kudzu.
Product test request for you, I would like to see how different string (bailing string, hemp string, cotton clothesline, spectra, and paracord) compare to eachother. I am thinking at least a couple questions to answer; How much weight before it snaps? How easily does it burn? Does a square knot pull apart? Does it get damaged easily? A couple tests there should be easy but the damage one has me thinking. Maybe drive over the string a few times in a truck and compare the before and after weights? Maybe run one over the edge of some steel or a rock to see how quickly they fray though?
Michael great idea bro!
For testing string, I think you'd definitely want to test how well they do with shock loading too. After the test for how much weight each (with the strings being equal thickness for a fair comparison of course) can hold without snapping, use a weight that is comfortably below the one that the weakest string could hold statically, and drop it, attached to the string, from increasing heights until it snaps.
Also, measuring how much they stretch before breaking in the static load test would be useful too.
Great video idea! Thank you!
Awesome idea. While your on the tie down theme, add to the list ropes, zip ties, ratchet tie down straps, bungee cords and of course the strings. I’m sure almost everyone will use or has used one of those items around the shop... or farm.
I'd like to see this, too. As Zuthal said, amount of stretch can be an important factor in some applications, so I'd like to see that measured, too.
I took your advice and bought the Renegade brush clearing saw, you were right on the money. I put this on a 460 Stihl clearing saw and that is one mean machine. I bought the Stihl harness that goes with it, and there's almost no possibility of getting caught up in it. Thank you for all your great reviews!!
Glad I could help!
The renegade lost a lot of speed on the three and half inch brush...
BRUSH !

This is precisely why I bought the Husqvarna 535LK pro combi! Not only does it have a shed loads of power but being a combi I can switch out heads for different jobs in seconds! I currently have a strimmer head, brushcutter, mulching blade and a clearing saw, so I can pretty much deal with anything!
Thanks for sharing.
I never would have thought that my weed eater could cut through a 3” tree with just swapping to a brush blade. This just saved me so much time over using a chainsaw.
Glad to hear!
I’ve been using a sawzall
@@TugIronChief Power tools are fun though. Fuck that saw in the summer heat.
ACKSHWEEEEE I came millimeters from cutting my thigh open with a chainsaw, duck walking around brush to get at it from ground level. IT IS A TERRIBLE IDEA! I got a bike handle trimmer, and the Stihl chisel tooth blade and limit stop. It lets me down brush FAR faster than I can dispose of it. Downside; you absolutely must sharpen each chisel tooth every time you go through a tank or two of gas. Mitigation of downside; a round file and guide makes that like a 10 minute job.
@@TugIronChief But you have to bend over or get on your knees to get a cut close to the ground. With a trimmer brush cutter blade, you can stand upright. That makes it a win for me.
I watch a lot of RUclips and this is by FAR the best channel on all of RUclips!
Thanks so much!
Somebody’s wife said quit making videos and get that grass cut. He showed her.
lol. Nice!
But what did he show her... how many head gaskets and spark plugs he needs to change!😂😂😂😂😂
I bought the Forester brushcutter blade about 3 years ago as a 2-pack. I have yet to wear out the first one. I'm glad I didn't read the directions! I use string heads for grass, like most people.
Thanks for the feedback.
10:17 it made me laugh so hard when renegade completely devoured the metal pipe
Thanks for watching.
I was scrolling through the comments waiting for someone to mention that
Mild steel, nom nom!
Yep, went in for a tap... and went so far it might as well keep going.
That better Not be my fence!!!
Always top notch info from Project Farm! You always add valuable details that the average guy just isn't going to have the ability, skill, or equipment to gain the critical info learned from your comparisons. I appreciate the heck out of having this priceless resource to refer to when adding new gear to my inventory!
Just and idea for a new video would be to do like a greatest hits series where you give your top recommendations from your comparison videos. You could have like 10 reccos a video with similar topics grouped in alphabetical order. The ultimate PROJECT FARM VIDEO ENCYCLOPEDIA! Your already RUclips royalty you just as well bump up to mythological superpower. Heck go ahead and run for president, I'll vote for ya!
Thanks for the suggestion!
Plot twist: Project Farm has been sponsored by the makers of his pen the whole time.
It's a Fisher Space pen if you're interested.
He would be honest enough to tell us if he was!
SuperImmenseGaming fisher price? 😂😂😂
That's hilarious! 😂
@@SuperImmenseGaming I thought it was a parker jotter? oh well, that's pretty dope either way!
I bought 2 Forester blades, absolute beasts on buckthorn and Asian honeysuckle. Don't hesitate to buy. Great product.
Thanks for the feedback.
great video i will say i have learned over the years owning a landscaping business that different style blades work better in different types of brush as you showed here I have never really found a one blade suits all in this type of work we have 3 different types blades depending on what we will be clearing. Todd thanks so much for your dedication and hard work on these videos every week. You are awesome. Stay Safe Stay Healthy!
Thank you very much too! You are absolutely right about having several styles of blades. I wish you good health and safety as well.
I agree with this comment. My trimmer came with a 3-tooth blade so I use that for brush, a small string for grass (because smaller string cuts better), and fat string for around fences, walls, anything that might damage the string. Different jobs do better with different tools.
Not a professional but I've done quite a lot of brush cutting. I ususally have one whacker set up with string for grass, and one with the Husqvarna blade. That blade has lasted for years and still works great! Most anything the Husqvarna blade can't cut is usually big enough to warrant pulling out a chainsaw anyway.
I might get one of those Forrester blades for when I don't want to get out a chainsaw or need to cut something very close to the ground. But generally I think string and the Husqvarna blade are the way to go.
The Oregon Blade scratches at a level 6, with deeper grooves at a level 7.
lol. Nice!
You beat me too it 😥
Self destruction at level 10!
LMFAO i was looking for this comment
@jerryrigeverything
After years of using a string trimmer, I've came to the conclusion that there simply isn't no one attachment that will be good at everything. Thats why my string trimmers have detachable shafts, it only takes a few seconds to remove one and pop in another. One has line for grass and small weeds only, the second weeds to small brush, and the third of course for the bigger stuff. I also have a cultivator for weeding the garden but that is another story.
Enjoyed your video.
Thanks for the feedback.
Line head, 3 or 4 tooth grass blade, and a scratch blade or chain tooth blade will let you cut anything that a trimmer could possibly cut.
@@danlorett2184 exactly. String for trimming with minimal damage, 3 point for clearing lots of grass and light brush, and the saw blade type for cutting anything that's too small to start the chainsaw for.
Do you have specifics on your rigs?
That's why I love this channel, you try to make the tests as fair as possible so the decision is unbiased
Thanks so much!
"The Oregon blade is made in Sweden!" 😂
Thanks for the feedback.
And I got a, to my eye, identical blade branded Stihl. Made in Sweden 🤔
The sweeds usually have a decent product
Oregon is still a USA company and notice the stihl blade at twice the cost under performs the oregon🤷♂️
And the Euros blade is made in China
I literally just told my wife I’m buying a brush cutter for this weekend! This is the second time you got me like google lol
That is awesome!
Awesome! My ex-wife hated me "doing things." She wanted me "making money." Not spending money. Glad to see your wife is better.
Project farm is far more respectable than slimy dishonest google
When the Renegade ate through the pipe, I lost it 😂
Thanks for watching.
Me too i laughed pretty hard.
Definitely did not expect that lol
Purchased the renegade blade a few days before watching this, so of course I was rooting for it. I too lost it when it annihilated the pipe!
Imagine accidentally hitting a water pipe in you're house with that.
All these blades minus the echo were genuinely bery impressive. They all cut and or held up way better than i expected. I currently have a stihl the same as the Husqvarna one and it almost seems to be supplied from the same manufacturer as they look identical, though i havent measured the thickness from new, works great in thick grass and can get small bush branches as well, works perfect for what i needed it for as i wont be cutting branches any bigger than 1 inch, thats what my chainsaw or pruning saw is for
Thanks for the feedback.
I love seeing more of these comparisons that are relatable. Do you think you could test what pressure washer nozzles are most effective?
Great test idea. Any suggestions on brands or other specifics related to testing them? Thanks again
i find the Turbo nozzels to be the most effective but they can blast the paint off your car if its chipped anywhere. also the size of the pump makes a big difference. ive got a 13hp 3600psi 4gpm and a 5hp 3000psi 2gpm washer and the 13hp is by far more powerful. that one might strip the pain off a car even if it isnt chipped.
@ That's exactly why don't get gas powered ones anymore I only use electric to prevent further damage Plus I make less of a mess by using less water Anything that doesn't come off with 1600 PSI of electric pressure washer I probly don't want to come off
@@bcoit55 i de-grease my cars with them so im all for the extra power lol. often times i just use a garden hose and scrub brush to wash the paint.

I had an idea recently while visiting my local “home improvement” store. Any chance you would be willing to do a comparison of “expanding foam” products? This would include the one time use cans and the home dyi kits for multi use spray guns. Thanks
Thanks for the video idea.
@theykilledthegiggler Try the DapTex stuff in the blue can. It's expensive and takes a long time to fully cure, but it can be cleaned up with soap and water and I've had no problems using a can 2 months after I started using it. The fancy smart straw great stuff also restarts, but you might have to cut off the end of the smart straw.
@@ProjectFarmlo
@theykilledthegiggler You can use Great Stuff as many times as you want. After each use, or before, you can unscrew the nozzle and dip it into gasoline and clear it right up allowing you to use it as often as you'd like till it is empty.
We all know: scratches at level 6 with deeper groves at level 7
lol. Nice!
Yes Mad Snow... but what are you scratching... I really don’t want to know🤓🤓🤓
Oh wait a second wrong channel 😂
Grass is grass, and grass doesn't cut well with round blades with lots of teeth
that channel...haha...i also like that chanel too
For blackberries I've found that the blade with wings (looks like a blender blade) works best as it chops as you drop it onto/into the brambles. Blends them up nicely.
Do you have a suggestion as to which brand? Good info.
Do you have one you like to use?
Oregon universal mulching two tooth tapered brush cutter. Be careful and use at your own risk.

You just keep getting better at these reviews. I see a more scientific approach on this channel than I do on most science channels. Hats off.
Wow, thank you!
Must say that this has been a very comprehensive video on the blades and their performance. Have been thinking for while which blade would be best to own. I had already purchased the forester chainsaw blade and now I'm glad I did. Also I'm very happy that I didn't purchase any other blades as this demonstration showed me that I need not purchase any other blade for my needs. Thank you Project Farm for your dedication and your level of attention paid to all of your tests. Exceptionally wonderful video. Great info.
Glad I could help!
This validates my good experience with a Forester branded blade. I have the 7" model and it works very well. Looks like I'll be sticking with them in the future if I ever have to replace it. Thanks for the great, no bs, informative videos!

It clearly shows how many folk are conned by slick marketing and persuaded to believe that the known brand is always superior when the truth is often the opposite.

In my late teens, many decades ago, for a couple of summers I worked for a county gardening department and it often involved using a proper gasoline-powered "brush cutter" (with a vest that it was hung from to remove hand strain). We learned then that if we had to deal with a mixed field having both woody brushes and grass, it was way better to use a proper wood-cutter-type blade to get the thick brushes and small trees out, and then use a line trimmer attachment to cut the grass, than to use any mixed type blade! We tried one or two of the mixed (advertised) blades but they were so bad in one plant type or the other that they were left on the shelf in favor of dedicated blades/line cutters. And hey, it seems the situation has not much changed :)
Thanks for sharing.
With the thoroughness of your reviews...I would like to see you check out gentleman’s clubs next.
